Extract

To Describe the development in France of small gas turbines of necessity confines one to the products of the Turbomeca Company. It is therefore not through lack of modesty that I speak of those engines which have been designed and built under my direction.

After the Second World War our aims were quite ambitious. We envisaged the creation of jet engines up to 6000 kg (13200 lb) thrust, as well as the aircraft to suit. We soon realised that such ideas were far beyond the industrial and financial possibilities of the time.
